After consulting his preacher to make sure there was nothing sinful about playing blues records on the radio Mr. Wright decided to give it a try. He did it six days a week almost until his death on what became one of America's longest-running radio programs. From 6 o'clock to 9, he was the 'Soul Man' playing the blues. For the last two hours he was 'Brother Early' playing gospel music - Early Wright, obituary to the DJ, WROX Clarksdale

This, Like Your Other Discographies Is Great And I Appreciate It Very Much, Thank You.
Being a relatively new convert to Washington Phillip's music (I heard it playing on Joe Bussard's documentary), I really enjoyed the link to your website. Anyone who has not listened to his music I would highly suggest it!! His voice is beautiful and his sense of melody really moves me. Where some gospel singers seem to just be going through the routine, he makes you want to BELIEVE in a higher power. I can't get his sound out of my head. Courtesy of the patient John Miller I have been learning some of his work. Great stuff and thanks Stefan!!
